The aliens in ender’s game were insectoid, they never looked like humans.
But it turns out that the aliens weren’t trying to destroy humanity. Humanity just thought that they were.
They’ve given up trying to destroy humanity after their second attempt, when they realized the humans were sentient.
The humans had no idea.
